Sounds like it doesn't recognize your keyboard. Check to see if the cord has come loose. If the connection is good and with a reboot it still doesn't work, the only other fix I can offer is a re-install. Because if you can't type, you can't do anything. Custom installation vs. workstation should have no effect on the functionality of your keyboard.
